JOHN GATES. EDITOR OF THE DAILY WORKER. Communist newspaper is shown at the ex
treme left as he addressed a crowd of approximately 1.000 students and townspeople on the Texaco
service station corner of Franklin and Columbia streets Wednesday evening. Gales was forced to
move his spsaking rostrum to West Franklin street in front of the high school a few minutes after
this picture was made by Staff Photographer Jim Mills. Gates was prohibited from speaking in
Memorial hall, where his address had been scheduled, by Chancellor Robert B. House, acting on an

Fondest Dream.
Post Office Crossing
Will Have New Light
By Don Maynard
Chapel Hill pedestrians will realize their fondest dream
in the very near future they will be able to cross Franklin
street unmolested by . scurrying motorists through the cour
tesy of a shiny, modern traffic light system installed at the
U-turn end opposite the Post Office.
Heretofore, students desiring
to enter the intersection of Frank
lin and Henderson streets were
obliged to, wait until the space
between bumpers was sufficient
to enable them to squeeze through
and maneuver across the street.
Now, with the aid of the new
signal light, recommended by the
Institute of Traffic Engineers and
designed exclusively for the
Chapel Hill intersection by Gen
eral Electric, students will have
?1 t;pfnnrfs nut nf pvprv minute
to cross. No longer will they find
themselves in the middle of
Franklin, foot poised, waiting for
a break as cars come from every
side. And no longer will the
motorist coming out of Henderson
street have to wait for the 5
o'clock w-histle before he pulls
out. The light will solve his prob
lem also.
A result of preparations that
took 12 months to complete, the

Sawyer Declares
Americans Must
Meet Challenge
RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 14
(UP) The American people must
admit the persistence of the
Communist concept today and the
need to appraise its strength and
its challenge, Secretary of .Com
merce Charles Sawyer warned
last night.
Sawyer spoke before the Rich
mond Chamber, of 'Commerced
"We cannot bask contentedly
in the assurance that because
people don't want it Communism
will not come to us," he said.
The present-day appeal of
Communism is directed at those
who believe the good things in
life are not properly distributed,
Sawyer said. "Those of us who
don't believe in Communism must
endeavor to make life pleasanter
and more tolerable not for a
few but for all."
Sawyer said the nation must
care for its natural resources.
He said the United States already
is dependent on the rest of the
world for much of its petroleum,
iron and other metals.

Latin Immaturity
Is Haring Subject
Political immaturity on the
part of Latin American govern
ments has been the chief cause
of their poor showings in con
nection with foreign investments,
Dr. Clarence II. Haring, Robert
Woods Bliss professor of Latin
American history and economics
in Harvard university, said here
in an address last night.
He was introduced by Dr. S.
E. Leavitt, director of the Insti
tute of Latin American Studies
which, along with the depart
ment of political science, spon
sored the address. The Spanish
club assisted with arrangements.
Dr. Haring is spending several
days in Chapel Hill and is speak
ing informally at several history
and political science classes and
holding conferences with gradu
ate students in these depart
ments. Dr. Haring traced the history
of foreign capital in Latin Amer
ican countries since their inde
pendence from Spain.
Navigating Off Course
Coed Turns
By Sam Whitehall
There was a low murmur of
voices in the celestial navigation
classroom of the Naval - ROTC
as midshipmen got together after
the Christmas holidays to shake
hands, correlate their New Or
leans tales and exchange at-home
holiday adventures.
Abruptly the buzz stopped.
All eyes turned to the classroom
door as a girl entered, books in
hand.
She was Helen A. Crockford,

has the distinction of being the
first woman student ever to be

Annual Revels
Of Playmakers
Slated Tonight
21st Program
Will Be Free
The Carolina Playmakers will
hold their 21st annual Twelfth
Revels program in tha Play
maker theater at 8:30 tonight.
All students and townspeople
are cordially invited to attend,
and no admission will be
charged.
The annual Revels program,
which is on an "everything will
be forgiven" basis, is divided be
tween the staff and students in
the dramatic art department,
with the staff presenting the rev
el scene from Shakespeare's
comedy, "Twelfth Night," and
the students acting burlesque
scenes which parody the Play
maker productions of the fall
quarter.
The student section of the pro
gram, which is written, staged,
and acted by students, is tradi
ionally kept secret until the
night of the production. Since
much of the material in the pro
gram is aimed at the Playmaker
Staff and at members of the
radio department faculty, they
are not allowed in the theater
during revels rehearsals.
The staff section of the revels,
which will open the program, is
being directed by Samuel Sel
den. Roles in the Shakespeare
scene will be acted by Jane
Grills, Earl Wynn, Foster Fitz
Simons, Robert Shenkkan, and
Jurgensen.
The title, "Twelfth Night Rev
els," comes from the fact that, in
Elizabethan times, the period
from Christmas until twelfth
night (January 6, the traditional
performance time here) was set
aside as a festival- period, and
the Lord of Misrule held sway.
Army Will Require
Three-Year Terms
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (UP)
The Army will require recruits
to sign up for at least three years,
beginning today.
Officials said two-year enlist
ments have been cancelled to
slow down the rate of volunteers
and to get more actual service
out of each recruit.
Draft calls for February and
March already have been cancel
led, and further steps to ease
off the enlistment rate are now
under study.
Town Men Vote Not to Back
Upcoming YMCA Fund Drive
The Town Men's association
voted at its Thursday night meet
ing not to aid the YMCA in its
forthcoming fund drive "because
the Y has become divorced from
student activities."
An association spokesman said
the resolution was passed because
the members felt the Y was
"taking too much interest in the
European situation and neglecting
the campus."
As guest speaker at the Thurs
day night meeting, H. W..Wcnt-

association, spoke on eating condi

Aside from the consternation
Miss Crockford caused on her
first day in class, there have
been mixed reactions to her
presence among the future naval
officers. Several midshipmen have
been heard objecting good
naturedly to her navigating with
them on the grounds that "she
spoils our fun in class."

On Friday, Frost will .visit

Frost is famed as an educator
as well as a poet. He has taught
at Amherst, Harvard, and Dart
mouth, and has received many
honorary degrees. He has won
almost every honor that can be
bestowed upon a poet, and has
been awarded the Pulitzer prize
four times, more often than any
other American poet.
The famed American poet has
been intimately associated with
New England during his life,
and most of the themes for his
poems are drawn from the New
England scene. His works include
"North of Boston," "Mountain
Interval," "New Hampshire,"
"West Running Brook," and
"Witness Tree." His latest vol
ume is "Steeplebush."
Musical Comedy
Is Set for March
"The Beggar's Opera", a 1728

During the regular business

Dr. Crockford was silent on the
matter.

excitement at the thought of
next summer's cruise with Miss
Crockford, a pretty brunette,
disappointment soon replaced the
dreams of moonlit nights jon the
signal bridge as grapevine word
proved she was not a regular
NROTC student. She has nothing
to do with the WAVE'S, but is

Death Plane
Claims Three
As 36 Jump
From Altitudes
Of 250-400 Feet
FT. BRAGG, Jan. 14 (UP)
A C-82 "flying boxcar" packed
with paratroopers of the famed
82nd Airborne division went into
a death dive today and 36 men
bailed out to safety before the
plane crashed and killed three
crewmen.
The pilot and copilot escaped
through a hatch after the plane
smashed into the one tree be
tween it and a clearing where
it might have landed safely.
Another survivor was Sgt.
Robert Lee Hodgkiss, Jump
master of the paratroopers and
the last in line to bail out. His
turn came too late, but he miracu
lously came through unhurt when
the plane crashed and burned.
Witnesses said the paratroopers
started tumbling out at an alti
tude of less than 400 feet, and
the last plunged into the air at
about 250 feet perilously low for
parachuting.
Hodgkiss had a "free fall" chute
which required pulling the rip
cord by hand. There was not
enough atlitude for him to use it.

almost double the amount
raised in 1948.
The foundation said that the
additional money is needed
because the reserves were de
pleted by last year's epidemic
of polio, which was the second
worst in the nation's history.
number of cases. In North Caro
lina last year the chapter spent
$400,000 raised in the state, and
received from national head
quarters $1,366,410 during the
epidemic.
Smith stated that there are
2,509 hospital cases at present in
the state, and that it is costing
the chapter $7,000 a week for
hospital care.
There is an urgent need for
contributions, Smith continued,
as all chapters have depleted
their treasuries and have called
on the national chapter, which
has depleted its treasury. Stu
dents are asked to contribute
freely as it is for a cause which
was felt here in Chapel Hill last
year, some students' wives and
children having been attacked
by the disease.
The Daily Tar Heel will spon
sor the campus drive with Ed
Joyner and Dougald MacMillan
directing it. Chairmen for men's
and women's dormitories, fra
ternities and sororities will be
assigned. Boxes will be placed at
a number of conveniently lo
cated places on the campus.
Governor Opens
March of Dimes
Launching the 1949 March of
Dimes campaign last night, Gov
ernor Kerr Scott, in an address
broadcast over a statewide net
work, urged North Carolinians
to give dollars instead of dimes
this year.
"Last year the polio problem.
was almost 10 times worse than
in previous years, and we must
be 10 times more prepared," he
declared. "We should have a new
slogan this year 'Not Dimes But
Dollars.' Dollars are necessary in
the new crisis as a result of the
worst epidemic of infantile pa
ralysis in the history of North
Carolina. The infantile paraly
sis problem in North Carolina
has outgrown the dime."
cussed in these seminars are
"Religion and Labor," led by
David Burgess, one of the or
ganizers of the Congress of In
dustrial Organization, "Fund
amentalism," conducted by Fred
erick Bronkema, professor of Bob
Jones University, and "Human
Relations," led by Rabbi Joseph
Raunch.
Dr. George E. Kelsey, field
secretary for the Federal Council
of Churches, will discuss "Per

Preacher Marvin Vicks will lead
the seminar on "Marriage."
Other topics discussed will be
"Modernism," led by the Rev.
Charles Jones, and "Protestant
Theology" by Dr. Bernhard
Anderson.

Budgeteers
Want Boost
Up to $150
Ask for $288
For Non-Staters
After marking up a deduc
tion of $1,692,37 in the ap
propriations requested by Uni
versity officials, the state Ad
visory Budget commission has
recommended minimum tui
tion fees of "at least" $150 a
year at the three branches of
the Greater University.
Students of the three branches
of the Greater University pay $81
in tuition costs each year while
out-of-state students are charged
$283.
The commission, in discussing
a raise in tuition fees before the
legislature in Raleigh, recom
mended that the Board of Trustees
of the University increase the
tuition charges.
The Advisory Budget commis
sion, a six-man board, is chair
manned by Edward Pate, of Lau
rinburg. Pate is a member of the
Board of Trustees and also of the
board's executive committee.
A meeting of the executive
committee may be called at any
time. This committee is composed
of 12 members. However, the
entire board of trustees meets
twice a year. This board is com
posed of 100 trustees, the gov
ernor as an ex-officio member,
plus any ex-governors from the
state, and the superintendent
of schools. The full board meets
in June and February.
The Advisory Budget commis
sion pointed out that the $31
fee has been in effect "for a long
time."
"If that amount was proper
years ago," the commission ad
ded, "$150 per year now, based on
greater opportunities offered and
because of the tremendous in
crease in the cost of the services
provided, is not excessive, and
would not be as great as $31
was a few years ago".
State appropriations for the
higher educational institutions
have been increased' in the pro
posed budgets, it was pointed
out, "but it is felt that all the
increasing demands of these in
stitutions cannot be met out of
the state appropriations and that
some institutions must help
themselves by increasing tuition
charges."
The commission suggested that
a minimum tuition of $75 be
charged at East Carolina Teach
ers college and a minimum of
$50 at Western Carolina Teach
ers college and Appalachian
State Teachers college.
